And as always I planned to craft some nice little things while being on vacation and again those ideas entered the long and annoying list of unfinished projects. Do you have such a frustrating list, too?
Sometimes I think that it's becoming longer and longer while the projects that I accomplish are really rare lately ( I would say for 1 1/2 years now... wait a moment, when was little Lucas born? ... ;-) )

Usually I proudly present the results of the creative process, but today (and, to tell you the truth, because I have nothing to share with you yet, but wanted to connect with you again...) I will show you some of the unfinished work that is haunting me:

In Spain I had a really really nice sewing place, didn't I? My mother even has a machine that I could use:

And this is what I wanted to sew: a nice cute kindergarden bag. But all I did was to cut and glue together the pattern and cut the fabric (the cute fabric, by the way):

This summer I started a furniture-makeover. This is a filing cabinet which would be nice for some crafting devices. So I started polishing but never got to paint it. Now it's waiting in the basement to be finished. But it's not waiting all alone... it has the nice company of two dressers which I saved from the garbage truck and which are waiting for a makeover, too.

Another never ending project is our staircase. Months ago... I think it was in march (!) and in an attack of blind activism I started to draw picture frames on the wall with a little pencil. My plan was to paint fake frames on the wall to make sort of a gallery where I could show family portraits or other fotos, images and paintings that I like. But half a year later my staircase still looks like a kid scribbled colouring book!

Finally I ended up hanging it in the hall. Waiting for better crafting times to come, ...

And do you remember the sneak-peek from the last post? The little dresser? I worked on it, yes. But it is still unfinished and will need many more hours of work. (Do you get an idea of what it will be, by the way?)

But you know, one day.... one day I will accomplish all those projects !!! Yes, I will! And all those sewing ideas I have in mind, too. Some day my huge fabric pile will make sense. I will sew day and night until every little peace of fabric is used up. And then... after all the sewing and crafting... I would have freedom and peace and I would have nothing else to do and... I would feel an almost forgotten feeling: boredom... oh wait,... no,... that's not good... I better go and buy some more fabric... ah... and there is a flea market going on right now... perhaps I'll find something nice to restore...

No! Boredem would be the worst thing ever... I prefer the annoying Unfinished-Projects-List!!!

Oh Cristina your pictures are lovely and how you made me laugh!!! I feel less lonely now! I have loads of unfinished projects but I usually put them out of sight, so I tend to forget them... A baby-book, a scarf, a bird-feeding house, frames, tidying my craft material, reparing the pile of clothes which has been waiting for a looooong time... ^^ Ah well, winter is coming, less going outside, more working inside ;)Welcome back in Germany by the way!

:-) Thank you for your feedback.Yes, I hope to get something done this autumn/winter, too. And I didn't forget our swap-deal. I will think about something that you can do for me. I love the tortellini :-) But I will do some thinking. And you? What would you like?Greets
